Title: NO BLUE NOTES
Post by: bk on March 28, 2018, 12:04:50 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had no blue notes, and now it is time for you to post until the no blue note cows come home.

For those who've read the notes (you know who you are), the dangling carrot I spoke of about nine days ago had to do with the eBay thing.  Someone sent me a private message on eBay asking if I would entertain a cash offer outside of eBay and he gave me his phone number in a way that got through the eBay security (can't leave phone numbers or real e-mail addresses).  So, I wrote him back and told him sure and that I'd call him.  I did and this jerk never got back to me - I left a subsequent message as well as two private messages via Facebook.  Why would someone be such a creep?  It baffles me truly.

I never had time to do what I wanted as the gift with this book, which was to record a CD.  So, I think I'll do what I did with Thrill Ride, but it's more interesting with this book - I'll send a signed page from the manuscript with lots of hand-written notes - I did so much futzing with this book that they're pretty interesting.

I've had the Blu-ray to King of Jazz (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078FFX78J/) in my Amazon wishlist since it was first announced, waiting to see if it would go on sale on Criterion's website (https://www.criterion.com/films/29389-king-of-jazz), but Amazon has it for less, so I'll get it from there.

I have been watching some videos of a wrestler from Britain named Charlie Garrett or sometimes Charlie Sterling whose gimmick is that he gets his trunks pulled down below his butt cheeks and spends most of the rest of the match that way.....it is most entertaining....if you are entertained by such a thing.

We certainly don't get anything that exciting here in the US - wrestling wise.....

I of course know nothing about this person, but I find it truly bizarre - and, yes, grossly inconsiderate of the co-workers - that anyone can just up and disappear from a job like that without at least cluing some people in.  Not to mention, how do you ever expect to become employed again?

Wow--that thought just reminded me of this incident from about 23 years ago:  This person signed on as music director for a show at one of our local theaters, led the first two or three rehearsals, and disappeared.  They just never showed up again, or even called to convey the message that they couldn't follow through with it for whatever reason, or offer any kind of apology...to the theater management or to anyone else.  One of the cast members with experience took over (I was rehearsal and performing pianist but was unequipped to do that myself then) and all was eventually well, but to my knowledge, none of use ever saw or heard from this person ever again.  Ah, community theater...

I'm feeling better at the moment than I did before and the pain in my hip has stopped.  I'm going to take a nap with the babies.

;D  I have done that as well. 

I am pretty good about checking my pockets but sometimes I miss something.  This time is was $16 I remembered about after I found a Kleenex had been laundered.  Since I know they were not in the same pocket I apparently missed more than I realized.  Kleenex is tricky though, it feels like the fabric of the pants.

I often have a little money in my pants, just in case my walk takes me past Savona's, the coffee shop I often walk to.  Once the owner let me owe her for my purchase.

Mostly the money that I wash is metal money.

;D  I have done that as well. 

I am pretty good about checking my pockets but sometimes I miss something.  This time is was $16 I remembered about after I found a Kleenex had been laundered.  Since I know they were not in the same pocket I apparently missed more than I realized.  Kleenex is tricky though, it feels like the fabric of the pants.

I often have a little money in my pants, just in case my walk takes me past Savona's, the coffee shop I often walk to.  Once the owner let me owe her for my purchase.

I made myself get into the habit of checking my pockets.  I regularly use a couple of USB flash drives and a couple of times I almost washed them! :o THAT scared me into getting into the habit of checking every time.

Leslie Odom Jr. was on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" last night (it's actually still on right now).  I had paused the broadcast, so I'm just now getting to his segment.

How was it?

He has been on a book tour with the last stop in LA, where he lives, on April 2nd.  Our friend said he might be going to Seattle or Portland but I can't find anything about this.

It was good.  He was funny.  He talked about his new book and a little about the shows that he's been in.  Actually, here's the segment:

I rarely miss more than Kleenex, as I said due to the fact I can't always feel it. 

For me not to check an entire pocket is shocking.  It is possible I only missed half a pocket.  These are my tactical quick dry pants I purchased for Africa.  I love them for comfort, ease of carrying my phone in a separate front pocket, and all the other pockets I can carry stuff in.

They have:
Two back pockets
Two traditional front pockets
Two little front pockets which are just the right size for my small iPhone
Two big pockets in the front.  These pockets have a divider which halves the pockets.

Thanks for the link.  I am enjoying it, got teary eyed when he mentioned the baby's name.  I knew she was named for her great-grandmother, someone who was dear to us.  Just hearing him say her name was sweet.

Epidural vibes for DR Elmore, Job Hell vibes for DR vixmom, and vibes of health and wealth to all of us. 

(Especially wealth.  Right?)  :)

I've got the wealth thing going! At $12 per day, minus the $4 bus pass, I have raked in $48 so far! And more to come!

;D

Are you packing your lunch or is that an additional fee?

I take a peanut butter sandwich. We have no fridge, no microwave, no coffee. Just a pitcher of water. No ice.

Lunch would use up the entire $8. We don't get anything until after the case is over, and so I have been scrounging the couch cushions for bus pass fare.

We really need to revamp the jury system.  I am not sure how  they can e pest businesses to lose workers  and people to pay their bill whenthey lose their paycheck while at jury duty and then get paid such a pittance weeks later.

My visit to the dentist was short. The crown work will take hours.

Sorry your dentist could not get the temporary crown in while you were there.  Why will it take hours?

He’s a perfectionist.

I wonder if Jane has seen the video on the news from the African safari.  First a cheetah jumps on the front of the Jeep, and while they are stopped, another cheetah jumps into the backseat of the vehicle.
